Paragraphs are the building blocks of papers.

Many students define paragraphs in terms of length: a

paragraph is a group of at least five sentences, a paragraph is half a page long, etc. In reality, though, the
unity and coherence of ideas among sentences is what constitutes a paragraph. A paragraph is defined as “a
group of sentences or a single sentence that forms a unit”. Length and appearance do not determine
whether a section in a paper is a paragraph. For instance, in some styles of writing, particularly journalistic
styles, a paragraph can be just one sentence long. Ultimately, a paragraph is a sentence or group of
sentences that support one main idea. In this handout, we will refer to this as the “controlling idea,”
because it controls what happens in the rest of the paragraph.

Most paragraphs in an essay parallel the general three-part structure of each section of a research
paper and, by extension, the overall research paper, with an introduction, a body that includes facts
and analysis, and a conclusion. You can see this structure in paragraphs whether they are narrating,
describing, comparing, contrasting, or analyzing information. Each part of the paragraph plays an
important role in communicating the meaning you intend to covey to the reader.

Introduction: the first section of a paragraph; should include the topic sentence and any
other sentences at the beginning of the paragraph that give background information or
provide a transition.

Body: follows the introduction; discusses the controlling idea, using facts, arguments,
analysis, examples, and other information.

Conclusion: the final section; summarizes the connections between the information
discussed in the body of the paragraph and the paragraph’s controlling idea. For long
paragraphs, you may also want to include a bridge sentence that introduces the next
paragraph or section of the paper. In some instances, the bridge sentence can be written in
the form of a question.

The decision about what to put into your paragraphs begins with the germination of a seed of ideas; this
“germination process” is better known as brainstorming. There are many techniques for brainstorming;
whichever one you choose, this stage of paragraph development cannot be skipped. Building paragraphs
can be like building a skyscraper: there must be a well-planned foundation that supports what you are
building. Any cracks, inconsistencies, or other corruptions of the foundation can cause your whole paper to
crumble.

So, let’s suppose that you have done some brainstorming to develop your thesis. What else should you
keep in mind as you begin to create paragraphs? Every paragraph in a paper should be:

 Unified: All of the sentences in a single paragraph should be related to a single

controlling idea (often expressed in the topic sentence of the paragraph).
 Clearly related to the thesis: The sentences should all refer to the central idea, or
thesis, of the paper.
 Coherent: The sentences should be arranged in a logical manner and should follow a
definite plan for development.
 Well-developed: Every idea discussed in the paragraph should be adequately explained
and supported through evidence and details that work together to explain the
paragraph’s controlling idea.
 People learn in many different ways. Most of people learn new things every single day. Learning is the
ability to do something better. Some people learn a lot by sitting in the classroom and listening to the
teacher but for some people learning happens outside the classroom. Learning is an important function in
the human organism. While learning is an essential part of our interaction with the environment
particularly the social and societal environment. The human being is very much a social person, and
learning always happens, either directly or indirectly in interaction with other people. The learning is
considered a key element in the interaction between the individual and the surroundings. Learning is a
lifelong process.

It shows that children from the wealthy families get better scores than children from less wealthy families,
but how? That question is pretty obvious. The wealthy families have the amount of money to pay for
private lessons with some of the best instructors they can find. All the children from the less wealthy
families don’t have the same opportunity as the rich kids. They don’t have the same advantage as the rich
kids because of the wealth of their families and that’s sad!
 Covid-19 is a respiratory disease.It was first reported in Wuhan City,China in December 2019,
Retrospective investigations by Chinese authorities have identified human cases with onset of
symptoms in early December 2019. While some of the earliest known cases had a link to a wholesale
food market in Wuhan, some did not. Many of the initial patients were either stall owners, market
employees, or regular visitors to this market. Environmental samples taken from this market in
December 2019 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, further suggesting that the market in Wuhan City
was the source of this outbreak or played a role in the initial amplification of the outbreak. The
market was closed on 1 January 2020.

During Elementary days,I have so many unforgettable experiences before pandemic. I was
not always the smartest student in school, and I don’t think I wanted to be either. I started off as
a youngster in elementary school wanting to learn everything I could about all the subjects I
was being taught by my teachers. I think I did pretty well because I was never held back in any
of my classes.

COVID-19 vaccination should be obligatory to all public schools. In the short term, it means
that schools will likely have to continue with mitigation efforts such as social distancing and
mask wearing. How soon things can start returning to normal, Moore said, will depend
largely on how many adults get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
